    I have installed wordpress on my server and have one domain stick to it. Now, let's say I want another blog with another domain to it, do I have to reinstall wordpress again for another domain and blog?

    Thanks

    let's me try again.

    - I installed wordpress
    - Assigned a domain to that server
    - Now I want to create another blog, do I have to install wordpress again on the server but in different folder/directory so I can assign another domain to that blog?

    I see, thanks.
    They should make a way to create multiple blogs without reinstallation.

    if you go with a Fantastico enabled hosting, then it will alow wordpress auto install. you just create a folder and let fantastico install wordpress under that folder. but yes, you will need to install wordpress for every domain you run blog on as each domain will be hosted under different folder
